No because the way I get so VISCERALLY angry when someone refers to an animal as albino when they’re actually leucistic, erythristic, or xanthochromatic is both deeply irrational and greatly unhealthy

ALBINISM

Total loss of melanin in the body, i.e. skin, hair/fur/feathers, and eyes (the eyes look pink/red because the lack of melanin in the eye exposes the blood vessels within it to light, which then reflects their red hue)

LEUCISM

Partial loss of melanin in the body; the pattern of melanin distribution is unique in each case, so some people or animals with this condition may have patches of typically-colored skin/hair/fur in addition to pigmented eyes, while others may only have the aforementioned ocular pigmentation

ERYTHRISM

Abnormal prevalence of reddish pigment in the skin/hair/fur/feathers of an animal; concentration of this pigment varies case by case, so humans/animals with the condition can present anywhere from only slightly pink to intensely red in color; to my knowledge, the condition does not affect the eyes

XANTHOCHROMISM

Abnormal prevalence of yellow pigment in the skin/hair/fur/feathers of an animal; similar to erythrism, color intensity can vary from light golden hues to deep yellows; again, to my knowledge, the condition does not affect the eyes

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

When did slavery actually end in the United States? - TED Ed || [x]

The doors are shut, there's no way you can escape.

So, ok.

Point number one: You can't take Godzilla down using missiles, in no way, shape or form can he be defeated with just missiles. It's moronic and idiotic.

Point number two: Do you have any idea how idiotic it is to have so many helicopters fly around Manhattan? The buffeting and centrifuge forces alone will cause most of those helicopters to crash onto each other.

Point number three: The characters are deeply annoying and unlikeable. At least give me someone to root for that's not Godzilla.

Point number four:-

Jamesy: No. Nope. Stop that.

Movie: Wait, what? Why!?

Jamesy: This isn't YouTube, Movie. You can't make a three hour long rant disguised an an essay just because you feel like it.

Movie: Did you know Roland Emmerich wants to remake Stargate?

Jamesy:...go on, I'll give you a hand with the editing.

Movie: Thank you. Point number four...

I've always found Pee Peerawich attractive, but there's something about him as Hope.

Is it because they changed his hair?

Is it the costuming? Those black suits are doing a lot for him.

Or is it because he's playing a morally questionable character, which is such a contrast to his last role in La Pluie? Talent is attractive, and watching him act, and seeing his range is so impressive.

That deranged smile...

It was at this point that I couldn't pretend not to notice how sexy he got.

I'm soooooooooooo invested in Hope as a character. I want all the mess.

Give me the violent, deranged debt collector with a soft spot for his boyfriend.

Sidenote: I didn't know Pee would have a romantic partner in the show. So the joy I feel!

Sidenote sidenote: I'm questioning the age gap between Hope and Save though... Isn't Save in high school? How old is Hope supposed to be?

Sidenote sidenote sidenote: It's kind of insane how Hope has some kind of chemistry with everyone at this point. He could kiss Jack, Tattoo or Aran, and I'd be down to watch.

Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.

So there's this really fun rabbit hole I discovered today. It's called Zutara. Because a lot of people have a lot of opinions on that. I'm a fan of atla and I've definitely thought about it.

To start off, I'm not a hater of anyone who like kataang it's just not my thing. I once described it to my sister as like that one relative that's really pushy about affection. And it is! Aang is seen pushing his feelings onto Katara during the show, and we never actually see what she thinks about this. Sure, at the end they kiss, but it felt super awkward to me. Like, okay, I guess I'll return your affection. It just felt really off.

Now, Zuko. The guy who walked through fire, who was willing to listen to her. He felt right in the sense. Katara opened up to him about her trauma and her lingering feelings of anger and desire for revenge. He knew that it wouldn't make her happy, but instead of resisting her, he offered her closure. Aang only made her more angry by resisting the idea.

I think above all, the thing I hate most about this romance triangle is that Zutara literally was going to be Canon! Like, huh? You went back and redid the script for some reason? What the heck?

TL;DR Zutara is like Ying and Yang and no one will ever change my mind.

Am I the only one who thinks that a good portion of the murder drones fandom lacks media literacy? Like some of these takes and opinions seriously make my head hurt. From people saying things like "N is obsessed with Uzi and vice versa" to "N had no character development" and even "Uzi ruined N's character", I'm seriously starting to believe that either people didn't actually watch the show or they watched something completely different.
